For On the ropes (Spaced 2014):

‘After this, I went to explore ‘On the Ropes’. The shouts and bells were a draw to audiences and there was a definite buzz around the space. It was a boxing ring in which two people were tackling an issue, a story – but it was up to us to choose the outcome. We were offered slips of paper (2 for £1) on which to circle what we wanted the characters to do next: everything from ‘make up’, to ‘do the worst possible thing.’ It was exhilarating and beautifully acted.’Reviewed by Jade Allen for www.femalearts.com

‘On the Ropes / Fight or Fuck (Salon Collective) was my favourite; relationships played out in a boxing ring with the observers paying for changes of direction and specific outcomes, all brilliantly improvised.’Reviewed by Gareth James for ‘Gareth’s Culture and Travel Blog’

For Another hundred people:

“Hugo took on the task of performing Jason Robert Brown’s “Stars and the moon”, traditionally a female vocalist’s song. He managed to be very effective without changing the lyrics – not an easy task!” Reviewed by Chris Goepfert for Musical Stages Issue 35/36 Winter 2002/2003.

“Hugo Trebels gives Cheng humour, menace and skilful ironic subservience”
